The Official Pink Panther YouTube Channel. New episodes of The Pink Panther (1993) will be uploaded every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday! The legendary « Pink Panther » Here is the game Pink Panther, who continue to spy once-popular animated series 1964-1980 period. First, the project involves surveying a series of detectives who have ridiculed the hapless Inspector Crusoe.

Pink Panther's Passport to Peril is a 1996 EdutainmentAdventure Game from Wanderlust Interactive based on the 1993 iteration of the cartoon.

The Pink Panther is given an assignment by Inspector Clouseau to protect the sons and daughters of world leaders at the prestigious Camp Chilly Wa-Wa, a summer camp so exclusive, no one even knows its exact location. Things get complicated when The Dogfather and his two assistants Pug and Louie arrive, claiming to be from a camp inspection agency, looking for reasons to shut the place down. However, the plot really kicks in when a camper begins feeling homesick...

One of the main focus points is traveling to the various countries the campers hail from (England, Egypt, China, Bhutan, India, and Australia), solving puzzles and learning about their country along the way. But the more you travel, the more you learn of a much sinister plot unfolding back at camp.

The game comes with an in-game PDA, which acts as an encyclopedia on various topics on each country you visit. It also comes with a jukebox that plays music videos that appear in the main story.

A sequel, Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink was released two years later.

Passport to Peril contains the following tropes:

• And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt: In Egypt, Mouth tries to sell one of these t-shirts to Pink Panther.
• Animorphism: In Australia, Pink is told by Kumoken’s father that in the Dreamtime, the Australian Aborigines could freely transform into their totem animals. Today however, only those with a very strong connection to their totems can pull this off. Kumoken, or rather, his spirit, actually does this to transform into a crocodile so he can escape and warn Pink to the dangers unfolding at camp.
• Anti-Villain: The camp director, who is blackmailed by Dogfather to carry out the replacement of the campers with robotic duplicates who hate camp, threatening to turn the real campers into burgers themselves. He even apologizes to Pink when he finds out. That doesn't stop Pink from vacuuming him up with the rest of the Better Camping Bureau.

• Ascended Extra: In the 1993 cartoon, Von Schmarty was a minor reoccurring character that was usually a victim of Pink's antics. Here, he's a close ally to Pink and the Only Sane Man once things at camp take a turn for the worse.
• Bag of Holding: Pink's skin/suit contains a pocket in which he can store whatever he finds during his travels.
• Banana Peel: Clouseau slips on one and falls out of the window of his office just as he zaps Pink to Camp Chilly Wa-Wa.
• Big Bad: Dogfather. He wants to turn the camp into one of his Dog Burger restaurants with the children acting as workers.
• Big Damn Heroes: Pink during the climax. While hiding in the storage cellar from Dogfather and company, he comes across one of the superpowered vacuums Von Schmarty was using at the beginning of the game. Combined with a few extension cords, he vacuums the dogs and the camp owner and frees the kids by draining the mud filled lake, revealing a domed playground where the kids and Von Schmarty were being held.
• Big, Thin, Short Trio: Pug, Louie, and the Dogfather, respectively.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Attempting to use a scimitar on either Pug or Louie during their confrontation in China will yield this response:
  Pink: That would be foolish! This is a kid's game!
• British Pubs: Pink visits one while in London, called The Mucky Duck. It is here where Pink rendezvous with Nigel's butler, Jackson.
• Camp Wackyname: Camp Chilly Wa-Wa.
• Chain of Deals: Egypt has one involving a cup of coffee, a rug and a stick of kebab. Somehow they all end up given to Mouth by the end.
• Chekhov's Gun: The superpowered vacuum invented by Von Schmarty initially only shows up in the beginning of the game, and then disappears until the climax, where Pink uses it to dispose of the villains and free the children.
• Color Failure: Happens to the bodyguard at the Chinese opera when Pug and Louie burst in, explained under Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
• Contrived Coincidence: Not counting Nigel, whose visit to his father was planned, and Indrani, whose parents are never seen, Pink continues to run into the parents of the campers, even if he never had any intentions to visit them.
  • In Cairo, he runs into Chione’s parents who happen to be looking for a gift to send to her.
  • When he goes to China to follow a language course, a case of mistaken identity leads to Pink being invited to dinner by Young Li’s family and then sent to the rice farm of Young Li’s father.
  • After escaping a hijacked plane by parachute, Pink lands in Bhutan's capital, not far from a shop owned by Ananda’s mother.
  • After escaping yet another hijacked plane and landing in the Pacific Ocean near Australia, Pink is rescued by Kumoken’s father.
  • In addition, Pink comes across one of Nigel's friends from school, who is miserable without him.
• Covers Always Lie: The box cover seems to imply Inspector Clouseau will be Pink's enemy in the game, when in fact he is Pink's ally and employer. He also only appears once at the beginning and once at the end.
• Crapsack World: With each return to camp, the state it's in gets worse and worse. Dead fish and trash bob in the lake, the skies are gray and eerie, everyone's fighting, and the camp director becomes more and more delirious, not to mention he's now got a black eye and appears to be missing a few teeth. Goes Up to Eleven upon your final return to camp, the skies are now dark, the robots have taken over everything, the lake is now filled with mud, and a Dog Burger flag now flies where the Chilly Wa-Wa flag once flew.
• Critical Research Failure: In-Universe. Indrani, the camper from India, tells Pink that she forgot to place marigolds on her grandfather's grave before leaving for camp and seeing that Pink is not that far from India (at this point, Pink's in China), she asks him to stop by the Hindu graveyard he's buried in and place the flowers for her. Its not until he gets to her hometown of Varanasi that he is told by a local that there are no Hindu graveyards in Varanasi. The Ganges River is where people are 'buried', not in a graveyard. Pink wonders why Indrani wouldn’t know such a crucial fact about her own culture. Turns out the robotic doppelgangers aren't as smart as their real life counterparts.
• Developers' Foresight: You can use the parachute outside of the two occasions Pug and Louie hijack the plane you're on. Doing so will result in the same outcome if you stayed in the plane.
• Face–Heel Turn: Most of the kids you're supposed to protect turn on you when they become homesick, which are later revealed to be robots who were designed to hate camp.
• Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Kumoken’s father has shades of this. Although he does not forbid Kumoken from going to Camp Chilly Wa-Wa, he doesn’t approve of it either, fearing the boy will lose touch with his Aborigine roots.
• Foreshadowing: There are many clues that reveal the kids are being replaced by robotic doppelgangers as early as 'day two'.
  • When going into the supply shed following the change in time, a disembodied robot hand is seen lying in the middle of the room, which then crawls away.
  • When going through Nigel's father's mail, you discover a postcard supposedly sent from Nigel that's riddled with spelling errors despite Nigel being a championship speller. In addition, the postage date on it predates Chilly Wa-Wa's opening.
  • Pink comes across a letter from Chione to her parents written in hieroglyphics. When translated by a local Egyptian girl, it claims she's having a great time at camp despite the fact 'she' stole one of Von Schmarty's airboards and tried to return to her family in Egypt.
  • When Young Lee becomes homesick, a weird radio frequency sound plays over his Chinese ramblings.
  • Ananda, the camper from Bhutan, has allergy medicine in his cabin. While in Bhutan, you learn from his mother that Ananda is allergic to dogs, despite Von Schmarty seeing him run off with one of Dogfather's goons and didn't appear to be suffering from any allergies.
  • Indrani claiming her grandfather was buried in a graveyard, despite the fact people in Varanasi 'bury' their dead in the Ganges River.
  • One of your first tasks when arriving at the camp is to help Von Schmarty out of a superpowered vacuum cleaner that's apparently powerful enough to suck in everyone's cabins. Guess what you use to defeat Dogfather?
  • When first meeting Kumoken, the camper from Australia, he mentions his spirit animal is a crocodile. After uncovering animal tracks leading to Kumoken's plane, the stewardess mentions a crocodile previously boarded the plane prior. Sometime after meeting Kumoken's father, a crocodile with Kumoken's hair shows up, which his father recognizes as a call for help and realizes that the camp is in danger.
• Four-Fingered Hands: Lampshaded when Mouth asks for ten kebabs, sticking out his hands in the process, only to stop mid-sentence to reduce it to eight.
• Fur Is Clothing: When visiting Nigel's father's mansion, Pink is required to dress properly in order to properly enter, proving in the process that his pink fur is actually a suit he can take off. It is then promptly stolen by Pug and Louie, forcing Pink to reclaim it later.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Von Schmarty, who designs many of the inventions seen at camp including hoverboards, spring shoes, and a dial that can change the weather or the time of day.
• Hold Up Your Score: When Pink throws a stick in the Ganges River, the man bathing in it briefly holds up a score sign. He gives Pink a “2 3/4 “.
• Hong Kong Dub: Parodied when Pink faces off with Pug and Louie in China backstage at the opera house.
• Hover Board: The airboards invented by Von Schmarty.
• Insane Proprietor: Mouth certainly acts like one.
• Impossible Thief: When the king of Bhutan is impressed by Pink's archery, he offers him a ride to India in his helicopter. However, the helicopter can’t leave because somebody stole the rotor. Pink eventually discovers the thief is the leader of the archery team he helped win, since he wanted Pink to stay and keep playing for them. The problem; the man was with his team, on screen, the whole time between the moment the king arrived and the moment the theft was discovered, so unless he had an accomplice do it for him, how he ever pulled off the theft is a mystery.
• Is This Thing Still On?: The second time Pug and Louie hijack Pink's plane, they decide to keep the fact that they are flying the plane now a secret from him so he won't escape again like the first time. Unfortunately, they forget to switch off the intercom so Pink can clearly follow the conversation they are having inside the cockpit, thus alerting him to the (nonexistent) danger.
• Large Ham: Mouth, an Egyptian man who's going crazy from hunger and thirst. His camel, Lucy, is Pink's only chance of getting to the Nile. This sets up a large chain of trades for some kebab, a rug, and a cup of (lukewarm) coffee for him.
• Literal-Minded: While in Varanasi, Pink comes across a Jain woman, who explains to him some of her religion's rules of not killing anything. Pink then asks her if 'killing time' is allowed, which the woman says she'll have to ask.
• Made of Iron: Pug and Louie manage to survive being turned into plants in Egypt, and a plane crash in the Himalayas.
• Me's a Crowd: When Pink comes across a rug vendor in Egypt, he claims to have a rug of any shape and size. Pink decides to challenge this claim by asking for a Pink Panther rug, which he promptly pulls out, which is practically a Pink Panther version of a bearskin rug. He assures Pink however that it is synthetic.
• Meaningful Name: Chione, the camper from Egypt, says her name means 'daughter of the Nile'. Pink responds by saying his name means 'light red'. Indrani also states her name means 'Goddess of the sky.'
• Mistaken Identity: In China, Pink is mistaken for a famous opera singer.
• Monumental Damage: Louie spray paints a heart on one of the stones at Stonehenge. While they believe this is a simple Evil Is Petty moment, defacing a monument that ancient is a serious crime.
• Mythology Gag
  • The camp owner and a Bollywood star in India are modeled after Little Man from the original cartoon shorts.
  • Nigel's father resembles Manly Man from the 1993 cartoon.
  • Characters from the 1993 iteration of the cartoon make cameos in Pink's PDA. The Ant and the Aardvark appear in the 'People' and 'Food' hub, respectively, Voodoo Man appears in the 'Clothing' hub, Mrs. Chubalingo appears in the 'Places' hub, and Little Man appears in the 'Culture' hub.
• Never Heard That One Before: When Pink comes across a lamp vendor in Cairo, he's not amused when Pink begins to ask him if any of the lamps are magic lamps and proceeds to rant about how after Aladdin came out, everyone's been asking him if he has one, which he denies. He's lying, naturally.
• Never Smile at a Crocodile: In Egypt, a crocodile prevents Pink from simply swimming across the Nile to a boat that is on the other shore.
• No Delays for the Wicked: No matter what happens to them, Pug and Louie always manage to catch up with Pink again to keep causing trouble for him.
• No Name Given: The camp owner is only called 'boss' by Pink and no one else calls him by name.
• Noodle Incident
  • Pink mentions the last time Clouseau magically zapped him to a different location wasn't very pretty on his end, going in detail about how hard it was to get his fur back to normal.
  • When coming across an Indian boy mourning his grandfather, Pink mistakes his shaved head for a botched haircut, mentioning his first haircut was botched as well.
• Off-Model: After Pink frees the real children, during the final song and the closing segment, all the campers (minus the Those Two Guys) have switched clothes with each other.
• Out-of-Character Alert
  • One of your first tasks is to retrieve Nigel's Guy Fawkes dummy, one of his most treasured items, in an attempt to ease his homesickness. When you return to camp and give it to him, he doesn't recognize it. When Pink tries to jog his memory, 'Nigel' lights a match and burns it, what children in England usually do to them.
  • For some reason, Young Li only speaks Chinese after becoming homesick, but Pink later learns that the boy supposedly speaks at least 4 languages. Even stranger, his best language is not Chinese, but English.
  • Von Schmarty claims he saw Ananda with one of the dogs from the Better Camping Bureau, and somehow the boy seemed totally fine despite being allergic to dogs.
  • At first, Von Schmarty is just as concerned as Pink is when it comes to the homesick campers. However, after returning back to camp from India, 'Von Schmarty' insists that that Pink take a break, despite the camp slowly deteriorating and more homesick campers still unaccounted for. When Pink tries confronting 'Von Schmarty' about things still needing to be done, he pretty much tells Pink 'You're on your own, now!' and retires to his cabin.
• Palette Swap: All of the stewardesses use the same model, but recolored to match the ethnicity of the country that plane comes from.
• Perpetual Smiler: Ananda's mother.
• Pit Trap: Pink uses one of these, along with a salad as bait, to get rid of Pug and Louie in Egypt.
• Politically Correct History: Averted; the game makes absolutely no secret about how the Australian Aborigines were mistreated by the European colonists.
  • The game also doesn't sugarcoat the fact that women in India are constantly discriminated against, no matter what caste they belong to. It's this reason why Indrani is attending camp, as she's fighting for women's rights in her country.
• Produce Pelting: While in China, Pink has to give a performance in a Chinese opera (see Mistaken Identity above). However, if he enters the stage without the required costume and makeup, the audience will start throwing tomatoes at him.
• The Professor: Von Schmarty.
• Red Herring: When stranded in Bhutan, Pink mentions he'll do anything to get to India, even if he has to go by yak. Sure enough, he finds a yak in a nearby village. The game makes you think you can skip finding the missing rotor and just go by yak, but no matter what you give the yak, which claims to be looking for a snack, nothing will entice it to be ridden by Pink.
• Ridiculous Future Sequelisation: The in-flight movie in all the private jets is Sister Act 16.
• Ridiculously Human Robots: The robots created by The Dogfather to replace the children and later Von Schmarty look real enough to fool everyone. At least until they start shorting out and falling apart near the end of the game.
• Robotic Reveal: The kids and Von Schmarty slowly begin short circuiting more and more each time you return to camp. You later find a robot head in the camp's supply cellar.
• Running Gag
  • The campers' parents' inability to pronounce the camp's name correctly.
  • Pug and Louie hijacking Pink's plane. By the second time, Pink isn't even the slightest bit worried since he knows he can just use the parachute to escape. If anything, he's more annoyed than concerned.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Pink does this when Clouseau gives him his next assignment: undercover lunch lady. This ends up setting up the sequel.
  Clouseau: I've already ordered your hair net.
• Seldom Seen Country: While en route to India, Pug and Louie hijack the plane Pink's on, forcing Pink to parachute into Bhutan, a country that is rarely seen or mentioned in any form of media outside of the Olympics.
• Shout-Out
  • Once night falls rather early on the first day, after all of the campers say goodnight to each other, a random voice chimes in 'Goodnight John-Boy.'
  • The grid of campers shown to Pink by Clouseau has Alice in the middle.
  • A comic book obtained by Pink in London is called Judge Conan 1999 1/9.
  • When Pink comes across a river filled with leeches in China, clicking on it enough times causes him to pick one up and pretend that it's entertainment reporter Robin Leach.
  • When meeting Young Li’s father, Pink asks him to translate a sentence that Young Li kept repeating when Pink last saw him at the camp. The translation: I’m glad to pay you Tuesday for one hamburger today.
  • During the archery contest in Bhutan, Pink has to trade an arrow for a bow from Ananda's mother, leaving him arrow-less. So instead of an arrow, Pink uses a chicken.
• Shown Their Work: Various cultures seen in the game (the caste system, the Aboriginal Dreamtime, Chinese opera, Bhutanese archery, etc.) are portrayed quite accurately. The in-game PDA shows this off even more with dozens of articles which discuss various topics (food, culture, wildlife, clothing, religion, etc.) from each country you visit.
• Shrinking Violet: Nigel. During the meet n' greet with the other campers, he's the only one you can't directly talk to and you need to entice him with a fishing rod. It also kickstarts the whole plot, as you need to get the fishing rod from the locked supply shed, with Dogfather watching you enter the code for the lock.
• Suddenly Voiced: Much like the 1993 cartoon series, Pink talks in this game. Then again, having a mute main character in a dialog-heavy adventure game wouldn't be the greatest of ideas.
• The Teetotaler: Pink is one, due to his claim that cartoon characters don't drink, when the bartender at the Mucky Duck attempts to take his order.
• Teleport Gun: Since even Pink is not allowed to know the exact location of the camp, Clouseau uses one of these to teleport him there. Pink is not at all thrilled about having to travel this way.
• Those Two Guys: Pug and Louie, who follow you for most of your globetrotting. Then there's the two campers who discuss and later fight about the differences of their countries.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: The kids become less and less friendly to Pink once they become homesick; Indrani demanding Pink place flowers on her grandfather's grave, even after his plane accident, and Kumoken locking him in the supply cellar. Justified, those kids are long gone by this point.
• Up to Eleven: Before giving the Pogo Shoes to Louie for “testing”, Von Schmarty turns their dial all the way to the maximum setting (represented by a skull and crossbones).
• Video Game Cruelty Potential: When searching for Young LI's father in some rice fields, Pink has to help a woman retrieve her laundry that's stuck on a branch in a river. Only problem? It's infested with leeches, and Pink absolutely refuses to dive in and swim towards the laundry. Clicking the river enough times will cause Pink to dive headfirst into the river, jumping out covered in leeches.
  • Less cruel, but not nice either, in the Chinese opera, you can endlessly keep forcing Pink to go on stage while he’s not properly dressed yet, resulting in a Produce Pelting every time.
• Visual Pun: Pink pulls out signs with rebuses on them (nut case, screwball, bird brain, etc.) when noticing that the camp director is oblivious to the camp's deterioration, waving at campers who aren't actually there.
• Who Is Driving?: The first time Pug and Louie hijack Pink's plane (while it's on its way from China to India), they leave the cockpit to confront Pink. Then the plane begins to shake, prompting Pink to ask the two who is flying now that they are in the cabin with him. Cue an Oh, Crap! response from Louie, who quickly rushes back into the cockpit.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Nunchuck, the bodyguard at the Chinese opera building, is terrified of dogs, hence why he is of no help when Pug and Louie break into the place.

Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink is a 1998 EdutainmentAdventure Game from Wanderlust Interactive. It is a sequel to Passport To Peril, and it picks up not long after that game's conclusion.

Pink has left Clouseau's agency (you would too if you had to be an undercover lunch lady) and has become a Traveling Salesman selling books. His latest stop is at a dinner party hosted by the Perpetual Smiler dentist Dr. Periowinkle and his wife, who are auctioning off their newest treasure, the Stars Byte collection, a series of jewelry made from the teeth of celebrities. But things get weird(er) when Violet, the daughter of a wealthy businessman attending the party, accidentally gets turned into a mutant wombat by the Periowinkle's estranged son and wannabe magician, Nathan.

As it turns out, he's been stealing spell books and other things from an evil warlock named Strangeblood, who lives in the woods behind their mansion. Pink, who witnessed the entire thing on his way to the bathroom, is roped into finding the ingredients needed to counter the spell Violet is put under before the party is over.

Pink Panther Video Game Sega

Much like the first game, Pink has to travel to various countries (Israel, Russia, Kenya, Indonesia, and Greece) to solve puzzles, find the ingredients needed, and gather missing pages from one of his books that got lost via the spell. This time around, you can jump between two countries at a time with the help of Spot, a black hole owned by Strangeblood.

The game retains the jukebox from the first game, with five new songs. Instead of the PDA, you're given the BOK aka The Book of Knowledge, one of the books Pink is selling.

Hokus Pokus Pink contains the following tropes:

• Abusive Parents: The Periowinkles don't seem too fond of Nathan's desires to be a magician and have plans to have him sent to dental school. Strangeblood has other plans.
• African Chant: One of the ingredients needed for the second antidote is a chant from a redhead. He gets this chant from a Masai tribesman.
• The Alcoholic: While not explicitly stated as such, Flip, one of the party guests, is heavily implied to be one. As if his slurred speech isn't enough to tip you off, you end up trading him some imported champagne for his piece of liver.
• Ambiguously Jewish: The Rat King, who constantly complains about his fellow rats slacking off.
  • Also the meteorite that hit Siberia in 1908, apologizing profusely for the event and claiming everything that happened was beyond it's control.
• And the Adventure Continues: Implied by Pink.
  Pink: It's all back in place. Y'know, when I took that job as a traveling salesman, I had no idea just how far I'd be traveling. I guess it doesn't matter much where I go, there's always going to be a fantastic adventure.
• Androcles' Lion: After Pink helps a shark in Indonesia get his tail and fins back, the shark repays the favor by giving Pink rides to two nearby islands.
• Animate Inanimate Object: The meteorite Pink gets from Grandma Tunga can talk.
• Arboreal Abode: Strangeblood’s hut is inside a large, hollow tree.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Shine-O-Bar, one of Dr. Periowinkle's inventions, is a virtually indestructible pair of dentures, which he claims are non-sticking, non-flammable, and smells mildly like peanuts.
• Bag of Holding: Like in the previous game, Pink can store his entire inventory in a pocket in his skin. At one point he even stuffs an entire mammoth in there (with some help from a clown).
• Barefoot Sage/Magical Barefooter: Strangeblood always appears barefoot.
• Bloodless Carnage: Pink frees Athena from Zeus' forehead by cutting it open with a trident, yet no signs of blood are visible. It's also invoked in one of Pink's trials given to him by Zeus: defeat the Gorgons without shedding any blood.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall
  • Nathan tells Pink 'Every cold night at the stroke of just eight, [Strangeblood] walks in the woods for one hour straight.' This is repeated (supposedly in his mind) as he's walking up to Strangeblood's house. Pink remarks 'If I can hear that, how come he can't?' before Strangeblood shouts out 'Who's there? Was that you wind?'
  • Pink paraphrases Emily Post by saying 'If you're a fictitious pink cat about to open someone's medicine cabinet in a CD-ROM game, don't do it.' Thankfully, this isn't the case for him.
  • After the meteorite apologizes for the all the things that happened after hitting the earth, Pink asks if he wants to make up for it by being an inventory item.
• Brooklyn Rage: Spot the black hole sports a Brooklyn accent, minus the rage.
• Call-Back
  • After helping fix a hot air balloon in Kenya, the tour guide gives Pink a bottle of champagne, to which Pink says he can't drink because he's a cartoon character. This is in reference to a similar situation from the first game in London, when a bartender tries to take Pink's order and he replies the same thing.
  • One of the VHS tapes Chuki has in her hut is Sister Act 16, the in-flight movie from the first game.
• Came Back Wrong: The first antidote turns Violet into the 'immortal magical ninja princess mermaid' like she wanted, but she eats Nathan's poisoned apple, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. When performing the magic words for the second antidote, the Greek salad Pink put in causes Violet to be possessed by the mythical beast Echidna.
• The Cameo: In the song 'When Horses Fly', two of Poseidon's 'sons and daughters' are Pug and Louie.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Grandma Tunga. Not only does she allow a bear inside her village's food hut, she also believes earthquakes are caused by rats that live underground.
  • The Cuckoo Lander Was Right: Turns out there really is a pack of rats that cause earthquakes (at least in Siberia) that Pink has to motivate to free a woolly mammoth trapped in a block of ice.
• Color Failure: Pink does this after Strangeblood returns home earlier than usual, claiming 'it was unusually warm out this evening', in reference to Nathan's poem.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: Mrs. Periowinkle seemingly is one. Nathan doesn't sound too thrilled when Pink returns with the Greek salad, calling it 'mom's cooking' in a negative tone. She also bakes a ton of desserts three months in advance. Needless to say, they're hard as rocks, not that she cares, because if someone were to chip a tooth on it, she could just refer them to her dentist husband. The guests aren't really that tempted by the dinner either, as Flip isn't too thrilled to partake in her cooked liver, and Saltina discretely stuffs her pigeon into her purse, claiming she's 'watching her girlish figure.'
• Dark Is Not Evil: Strangeblood, see Good All Along below
• Demonic Possession: The second attempt at getting Violet back to normal results in her getting possessed by the Greek half-woman, half-snake monster Echidna. Yes, this includes levitating around the mansion, spinning her head, and belching instead of throwing up.
• Developers' Foresight
  • You can give the salt lick to Yasit early when he appears at the frozen lake.
  • The Rat King takes any extra VHS tapes you may have taken from Chuki's hut.
• Disco Dan: One of the guests at the party, Shakey Goldenpipes, gives off this vibe with a retro-futuristic leisure suit and a Jive Turkey attitude.
• Eye of Newt: Both potions that Nathan brews need these kind of ingredients:
  • The first potion, to turn Violet into an immortal magical ninja princess mermaid, requires “The only thing living in the saltiest sea”, and “a Princely laugh, specifically the hugest one that has a chilly past”. The magic book does not specify what is needed for the ninja part, so Pink improvises by adding a black belt to the cauldron.
  • The second potion to counter the effects of the poisonous apple requires “The carrier of the human soul” and “A redhead’s woeful plea”. When the potion fails to work, Pink again improvises, this time by adding some Greek salad.
• Fun with Acronyms: The BOK aka The Book of Knowledge.
• Funny Background Event: When Pink arrives at the Gorgons' lair, Pegasus can be seen in the background wearing a blindfold.
• Furry Reminder: Pink can come across a non-anthropomorphic panther while in Kenya. It and a cheetah are big fans of Pink as well.
• Five-Second Foreshadowing: In order to make the second potion work, Pink improvises by adding a Greek salad made by Mrs. Periowinkle. After the potion backfires by placing Echidna in Violet's body, Pink has to travel to Mount Olympus, which is in Greece.
• God Guise: When Pink frees Athena from Zeus' forehead, he is christened the God of Headaches.
• Good All Along: Strangeblood. Not only does he secretly help Pink by reattaching shark fins and draining the Dead Sea so an ostrich can reunite with his flock, but he also removes Echidna from Violet's body and takes Nathan in as an apprentice.
• Great Big Book of Everything: The Book of Knowledge, the pages of which Pink tries to find back during his travels.
• Human Popsicle: Pink finds a woolly mammoth stuck in the ice in Siberia.
• I Can Explain: Pink says this to everyone at the dinner party once Violet has been possessed by Echidna. Turns out he was a tad early, as the Periowinkles have no idea what he's talking about.
• Just Here for the Free Snacks: When all the guests leave without bidding on the Stars Byte collection, and giving various reasons for why they no longer want it, Flip admits that he was never interested in the collection from the start. He just came for the free food.
• Mad Scientist: Two of the guests at the party are a plastic surgeon who works in a mall that gives off this vibe, and his 'wife', who is actually created by him from body parts left behind by his customers a la Frankenstein's Monster. He ends up taking (not buying) the Stars Byte collection for her so she can run for mayor.
• Magic Cauldron: Nathan has one in his room which he uses to make the two potions.
• Me's a Crowd: In order to help Chuki with the reception of her TV, Pink has to make an ice sculpture of himself to act as an antenna holder on top of the village's food shed.
• Misplaced Wildlife: An African warthog is present on one of the islands of Indonesia.
• Money, Dear Boy: In-Universe; the Indonesian fisherman makes no secret of the fact that they took the tail and fins of a still living shark so they can sell them for profit.
• Moon Logic Puzzle: Wouldn't be an adventure game without one. After a few 'rat rumblers' in Siberia, a woolly mammoth emerges from the bottom of a lake encased in ice. How do you get him out of there? With an ice pick or a chisel? No, instead you have to get an ostrich egg and stick it in its exposed trunk, the lack of air causing it to break free of course!
• Motifs: Not only is the Periowinkle mansion shaped like a giant pair of dentures, pictures of people's teeth line the halls, decorative teeth line the doorways, and dental lamps hang from the walls. The only room in the house that is seemingly normal (at least, compared to the rest of the house) is Nathan's. Pink puts it best:
  Pink: I'm noticing a distinctive pattern here, is it a moteeth? I think it's a moteeth.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Rather than being turned back into a girl, Violet wishes to become an immortal magical ninja princess mermaid, so the first potion Pink has to gather the ingredients for is to do just that. It succeeds, but she doesn't get to enjoy it for too long.
• Perpetual Smiler: Dr. and Mrs. Periowinkle sport unnerving smiles, thanks to a combination of smile supporters and one of Dr. Periowinkle's inventions, Shine-O-Bar. Nathan however is more of a Perpetual Frowner.
• Pointless Band-Aid: Nathan sports a few on his face, but they go unexplained.
• Punny Name: Most, if not all of the dinner guests have these. Midge Poorpenny, Shakey Goldenpipes, Dr. Hemakeyounew, Saltina Crackerbarrel, Flip Looseliver, just to name a few.
• Rags to Riches: Miss Midge Poorpenny, one of the guests at the party. The only reason she's attending the party is because she recently became a zillionaire after winning the lottery and wants the Stars Byte collection because it'll make her feel important enough to fit in with the rest of the guests. By the end of the game, she realizes that if the Periowinkles don't want celebrity teeth, then neither does she.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Strangeblood’s eyes are glowing red when he catches Pink snooping around his house.
• Rhymes on a Dime: Strangeblood when he narrates the opening of the game.
• Rodents of Unusual Size: The giant, intelligent, anthropomorphic rats that live in Siberia. You can thank nuclear testing fallout for that.
• Sad Clown: Pink meets a sad clown in Siberia. He was originally part of a Russian circus, but was thrown out for not smiling enough, so he came to Siberia so he could freeze to death. After giving him some smile supporters, he helps Pink stuff an entire mammoth in his pocket.
• Sadly Mythtaken: Mostly Averted, most of the Greek mythology in the game is surprisingly spot-on. There is one big exception though: Echidna was NOT the granddaughter of Poseidon, Echidna was technically Poseidon's aunt. That said, it could be a reference to one interpretation where Echidna was a daughter of the primordial god of the ocean Phorcys, Poseidon's predecessor.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: After the Echidna debacle, all of the guests call it a night and decide to not bid on the Stars Byte collection, minus Dr. Hemakeyounew, who ends up taking the teeth to complete his 'wife'.
• Sdrawkcab Name: Pink names the ice sculpture he makes of himself 'Knip'.
• Secret Test: At the end of the game, Strangeblood admits that he caused the events in order to test Nathan's abilities as a wizard.
• Seesaw Catapult: One puzzle has Pink use one of these to get out of the rat cave. The problem is finding something or someone heavy enough to get the job done. Pink accomplishes this by attaching a sandwich to the other side of the seesaw, causing a very large and hungry rat to jump on it.
• Shock and Awe: When the Echidna-possessed Violet reveals herself to the guests in the dining room, she shoots lighting from her hands.
• Shout-Out
  • One of the things Nathan has lying around in his room is a poisoned apple. Guess who ends up eating it?
  • When Pink gives the salt lick to Grandma Tunga to help lure her reindeer back, she calls Pink 'Carmen', much to his annoyance.
    • She also laments not naming her reindeer Snoopy instead of Yasit.
  • Chuki, the little girl in the Siberian village, has Pink try to fix the reception on her TV so she can watch Blarney, a show about a talking walrus that supposedly teaches about sharing and caring, but in actuality brainwashes kids into begging their parents for candy.
  • The Greek god Apollo is represented here by a... different Apollo.
• Shown Their Work: At first, the mere fact Athena is trapped in Zeus's forehead and you have to help free her is very strange, but believe it or notthat's how she was born.
• Something Completely Different: The first two acts of the game have Pink travel to two different countries to collect 3 ingredients for a magic potion. The third act however has him travel back in time to ancient Greece to get Zeus to exorcise Echidna from Violet.
• Super Not-Drowning Skills: Pink has no trouble staying underwater for a long time, which contradicts Pink's opinion of it in the previous game.
• Taken for Granite: The Gorgons are capable of this by just looking someone in the eye. Their swamp is filled with the petrified bodies of their victims. To defeat them, Pink has to trick both into looking at their own reflections so this will happen to them.
• Toilet Humor: You can make Pink go to the bathroom as he originally intended to before the plot kicked in, but is rather embarrassed that you're in there with him and decides to hold it. Once you rescue the mammoth needed for the first antidote, it camps out in the toilet for the rest of the game, thanks to a million-year-old bladder and the fact the kids needed to hide him somewhere.
• The Tooth Hurts: In Indonesia, Pink has to acquire the tooth of a Moray eel, which he accomplishes by feeding the eel a very stale cookie made by Mrs. Periowinkle.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Despite the worried looks on their faces neither the Periowinkles or the party guests (save for Violet's mother) are that phased that a possessed little girl is levitating above the dinner table.
  • You can also use Spot in front of everyone in the dining room and no one bats an eye.
• Visual Pun: The icon representing the Dead Sea is a lake with a tombstone sticking out of it.
• Voices Are Mental: When Strangeblood talks through Nathan to tell Pink what he needs for the second potion, Nathan briefly gains Strangeblood's voice. Pink lampshades this by pointing out how deep Nathan suddenly sounds.
• Warm Milk Helps You Sleep: While in Siberia, the solution for getting into the village food shed without being bothered by the bear is heating up the milk pouch Pink finds earlier in the game, and then give it to the bear. He will drink the milk and promptly fall asleep. You can also try to give the dog the milk while it's still cold, but this only results in him throwing the pouch back at Pink.
  • And if you try to give the warm milk to Chuki instead, she will lampshade the trope, pointing out how warm milk makes her sleepy. Which she doesn't want since it would make her miss her favorite show.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: Pink spontaneously dresses up as a diner waitress (complete with curly red wig) when dealing with the Gorgons.
• Wizard Classic: Strangeblood.
